DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Solomon
Islands – Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband – Statistics and Analyses”
report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s
offering.
Improvements to Internet services are expected with both the build-out
of a new submarine cable known as the Coral Sea Cable System which will
link PNG to the Solomon Islands, with a connecting cable to the
Australian (Sydney) landing station. In addition, the planned launch of
the Kacific-1 satellite in late 2019 should also improve broadband
satellite capacity for the Solomon Islands.
In recent years, the country has stabilised both politically and
economically and this, along with improvements to mobile infrastructure
has led to a sharp rise in mobile penetration.
Recent 3G mobile network expansions and upgrades by the two major
operators, Our Telekom (operating as Breeze) and Bmobile-Vodafone, are
improving mobile services and in turn driving uptake, including an
increase in mobile broadband subscriptions. While the first 4G LTE
services were launched in late 2017 in the capital Honiara; it is still
3G, and in many cases 2G, which is the main source of mobile telephony.
Various international organisations such as The World Bank and Asian
Development Bank have taken a special interest in seeing communication
services improved in both the Solomon Islands and Pacific region in
general. The Australian government is assisting by providing the
majority of funding for the new submarine cable system, with
contributions and support also coming from both governments from the
Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea.
Key Developments:
-
Smart phone penetration should almost double between 2018-2025 in The
